Cravat for Emrys

Description

I first started making cravats about a year ago, the first being for my dad’s birthday present. Depending on who they’re for, I’ve made them entirely out of cotton, with shweshwe, or as in this one, in silk. Cravats are super quick and easy to make, and the result is always rewarding. It’s not just older men who wear cravats – I’ve sold a few on Etsy to younger men who are looking for a way of looking smart without having a noose around their necks.

This is not my pattern; I originally got one off the internet, although I can’t remember where right now. I modified it slightly, and I have a tutorial somewhere if anyone’s interested.

This cravat is for my friend Emrys, whose birthday was in November; I’m developing a nasty habit of giving birthday presents six months after the fact. The front is Thai silk which I was given as a birthday gift last year; the back is baby silk – quite what this means, I’m not sure, but the price dictates that it is synthetic.

Hi there, sorry to be a pain but would you mind sending me your pattern please? As I am planning on making cravats for my wedding next year and I’m struggling to find a pattern! My email address is hjwatson24@aol.com. Thank you in advance!

Hi there. I am getting married in October and cannot find a cravat I like and have decided to make one. Would you be able to share your pattern? My email address is scottlinnett@yahoo.co.uk. Thanks you :-)

I love your cravat and have been looking everywhere for a pattern. My step daughter has asked me to make the cravats for the men taking part in her wedding in May this year and time is getting tight. I would be really grateful if you would share your pattern with me. My email address is sarah_redfearn@hotmail.com.

Hi Jane
I am impressed with your cravat! I have been looking everywhere for a pattern but to no avail until I found this forum. Would you be willing to share your pattern with me please? I have to make 6 cravats for my daughter’s wedding. My email is suewhitehouse58@hotmail.co.uk
Many thanks in anticipation.
Sue

I would appreciate if you could send me the pattern too – ernakc@gmail.com as well as the link to your tutorial. We sew and crochet for charity and I believe this would be a popular item amongst the older people, although … my son hates ties but is keen on wearing a cravat so I guess the younger generation might also like this.

the response to this pattern is really wonderful, i’m really flattered. just two things:
1) i’m a luddite, and i don’t check into the internet all that often, which is why i often send the pattern a month after you’ve asked for it – apologies for this
2) i don’t ask for any payment for the pattern when i send it to you, but in the spirit of giving, ask that you make a small donation to a charity in your area; if you’d like the pattern, please honour this request.

Hi Jane, your Cravats look beautiful! Could you pretty please email me the pattern as well? My email address is C.M.Schofield@hotmail.co.uk. I think cravats look so smart but are a bit too expensive to buy on a students budget so wanted to make some instead but couldn’t find a quality pattern until i stumbled upon yours!
Thanks,
Caitlin
